  • Patent number: 11977933
    Abstract: A processing unit such as a graphics processing unit (GPU) includes a set of queues that stores command buffers prior to execution in a corresponding plurality of pipelines. The processing unit also implements a kernel mode driver that allocates a first subset of the set of queues to a first application in response to receiving registration requests from the first application. The processing unit further includes a scheduler that schedules command buffers in the first subset of the set of queues for concurrent execution on a first subset of the set of pipelines. In some cases, an interrupt is generated in response to execution of a first command in a first command buffer in the first queue or the second queue. The interrupt includes an address indicating a location of a routine to be executed by a second subset of the plurality of pipelines.

  • Patent number: 11954540
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for split memory allocations in non-kernel space. Many modern networking technologies use asymmetric transmit and/or receive resource. Various aspects described herein split memory resources for transmit and receive, configuring each for their respective hardware optimizations. For example, a receive data paths that support batch processing and packet aggregation may be allocated large memory objects (32 KB) that can route data packets on a per-flow basis. In contrast, transmit data paths that support multiple concurrent network connections may be allocated small memory objects (2 KB) that can route data packets one at a time.

  • Patent number: 11948024
    Abstract: Technologies are described for automated payload testing of open data protocol (OData) application programming interfaces (APIs). For example, metadata describing an OData service can be retrieved from the OData service. The OData service can then be tested for one or more entities of the OData service. Testing can be performed by dynamically creating various payloads for testing the entities of the OData service and the OData operations supported by the entities. Results of executing the payloads can be received and evaluated to determine whether a given payload was executed successfully by the OData service. Results of the testing (e.g., indications of success or failure) can be output.

  • Patent number: 11928528
    Abstract: A disclosed method for implementing containers in an information handling system generates, with a first non-privileged container, a request that is sent to a RESTful API. Whenever the API identifies a request requiring host access the API launches a second container, which is configured to operate in a privileged execution mode. The second container accesses the host and executes the requested actions. When the request completes, the first container resumes non-privileged execution, thereby confining privileged mode execution to a container that is only active during host interaction. The host access can be access required to: exchange data with the host, query the host for hardware information, and modify host configuration. The host may be implanted within a device featuring an HCI infrastructure. In one configuration, the host resides of one of multiple distinct nodes of an HCI appliance.

  • Patent number: 11868826
    Abstract: A data processing system includes a transaction bus, a console application in communication with the transaction bus, and a view predictor subsystem in communication with the transaction bus. The transaction bus receives, from a user application executing on a client device, a call for visual information to be provided to the user application. The view predictor subsystem determines a likelihood that the visual information will be viewable within a viewport of the user application, and a plurality of respective values for a plurality of sources of the visual information are computed based on the likelihood and a respective priority for each source. The console application provides to the transaction bus the set of potential sources of the visual information, and the transaction bus selects, based on the computed values, one of the potential sources of the visual information to be the result, which is provided to the user application.

  • Patent number: 11847509
    Abstract: Embodiments of apparatus, systems, and methods are described for creating and managing an abstract, API-based infrastructure base model. The API-based model can abstract infrastructure assets, such as infrastructure components or connections between components, into a metadata model using standardized syntax and interfaces, for defining and building an infrastructure. Using a modeling document, connections and components of an infrastructure can be abstracted into an API-based model having semantics that covers them all. Connections and infrastructure components can be made available for selection, arrangement, and grouping to build complex infrastructure models without requiring complex API coding by the user. Other infrastructure models having different API definitions can be by abstracted to standardize the assets for building new APIs. The APIs can be further modified and exported to another or the same implementation project.

  • Patent number: 11803549
    Abstract: A system receives a request for data stored in an OVSDB database server, wherein the request comprises a JSON RPC request. In response to the request, the system initiates a proxy session by: creating a first communication session between the requesting entity and a proxy daemon, wherein the request indicates a first version corresponding to the first communication session; and creating a second communication session between the proxy daemon and the database server, wherein the second communication session is associated with a second version corresponding to a model used by the database server. The system determines that the first version does not match the second version. The system extracts, from the request, a JSON RPC method and determines that the method requires translation. The system performs, based on the first and second version, translation of a payload of the request, and sends the translated payload to the database server.

  • Patent number: 11775799
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for managing buffers in a neural network implementation with heterogeneous memory are disclosed. A system includes a neural network coupled to a first memory and a second memory. The first memory is a relatively low-capacity, high-bandwidth memory while the second memory is a relatively high-capacity, low-bandwidth memory. During a forward propagation pass of the neural network, a run-time manager monitors the usage of the buffers for the various layers of the neural network. During a backward propagation pass of the neural network, the run-time manager determines how to move the buffers between the first and second memories based on the monitored buffer usage during the forward propagation pass. As a result, the run-time manager is able to reduce memory access latency for the layers of the neural network during the backward propagation pass.
